Blonde to Brunette, A Hair Story

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I went brunette last week. Which was a huge change. This is what my hair looked like before.

Pretty much solid blonde.

My natural color is light brown so I went with it and had it dyed as close as my roots could take me.

And while I liked seeing what my natural color was, it was just a bit too dark for me. Maybe even too dramatic. I have been blonde my whole life. I started coloring my hair once it started going dark in high school. So basically I freaked out and made an appointment to lighten it up a bit.

And I am loving the new color. It is a bit more natural blonde as opposed to the straight bleached head I had going on before. It is hard to tell in these photos, but it has an ombre effect.

It is darker at the root so I can go a lot longer between appointments, which at this point was every five weeks.

What do you think? I mean besides that I am crazy for going so much lighter again so fast? ha

As a frequent hair color changer, the blond to brown is always dramatic and scary and unlikable. Go with a dye that fades quickly as you wash so you know the light will come back. That way you end up fighting the light instead of dreaming of its return. It takes a few visits to the salon, but you end up with a gradual change that is more natural and likeable. Blair :)
